Best VRBO!

Best VRBO that our family has every stayed in. It was the cleanest, well stocked with every appliance, beach supply etc VRBO. It was just steps from the beach which is ideal for a family with young kids who are eager to get to the beach. The hosts are so warm and welcoming and wanted to make sure we had the best stay. We will be back and we highly recommend , you will not be disappointed. The VRBO is beautiful!!!

Perfect in the sea of choices!

This charming, modern beach carriage house is perfect if you’re looking to enjoy the heart of St. Augustine Beach. Laid back neighborhood just a few steps from beach boardwalk. Can glimpse the ocean out the living room window. Walk 350’ to coffeehouse. Amazing. I’ve stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this place was the *cleanest*. The bedding was superb. High quality throughout. I’ll be back! Thank you John & Pat!

The place to stay in St. Augustine

We are a multiple visit customer and find this is the place to stay in St. Augustine. This house is awesome, just a short 100 yards to the beach. No condo issues here as this is a standalone home driveway for two cars. Cross the street to a taco stand or drive three blocks down to the Publix. Head a few blocks the other way to the Pier or continue into town over the Bridge of Lions.

Super clean, super comfortable, beautiful beach house

We were absolutely delighted with our stay at John and Pat’s beach house. Every room is gorgeous and everything is extremely clean and well-cared for. We were totally comfortable in the house. We were there for our son’s college graduation and the house was perfect for a family gathering to celebrate! I was so touched by Pat’s thoughtfulness: She had gotten some graduation decorations for us and it made us feel so welcome! The house is just a one minute walk to the beach, and we started every morning with a walk on the beach. The kitchen is super well-equipped, the bathroom is gorgeous, and there’s a laundry room too.

Cozy Getaway

This place is great!! I'll start by saying the place is very clean. I felt like I was at my own home. Our socks we not even dirty which is common in a vacation rental. The beds were great and i usually suffer because I have back issues. The kitchen is well stocked. Everything is up to date. The beach is also great, not crowded and just a very short walk, you can easily go back and forth during the day. Great location with a cool coffee shop across the street and ice cream just a few blocks away. Oh, and a burrito stand across the street as well. The owners were super helpful during the entire process!! We will be back.

The Carriage House Was Warm & Cozy

A cold spell hit the area so we were grateful this VRBO was warm, comfortable and clean. It “IS” as advertised. The location is perfect; direct access to the beach, far enough away yet a short and easy drive to St Augustine’s Old Town, restaurant choices and a microbrewery just two blocks away! Kitchen and bathroom were well appointed. Loved the soft and fluffy bath towels. While it was too cold in January, there were beach accessories available for fun sand time had it been warm enough. Pat and John communicated very well on our arrival date. We arrived late so they left the porch light on for us. Check In could not have been easier! We will stay here again if our travels take us to this area again.

Fantastic rental home. Perfectly located close to several restaurants and the beach. Great beach access. The neighborhood is extremely quiet with minimal traffic. The home’s interior is tastefully decorated, spacious, comfortable and clean. Garage was convenient for storing all of our beach gear. We absolutely loved our ten day stay and this home certainly exceeded all of our expectations. Pat is extremely thoughtful, helpful and quick to respond to all inquiries. We are looking forward to returning.

Relaxing and Peaceful Getaway

We recently had our first getaway in a long time, and this property was the perfect choice for a much-needed break. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how well-equipped and comfortable the space was. It had everything we needed for a relaxing stay—cozy furnishings, a fully stocked kitchen, and plenty of room to unwind.The highlight was the proximity to the beach. Just a short walk away, we could easily spend our days by the water, enjoying the sun and surf. The location couldn't have been better, offering both the peace and quiet of a seaside retreat and easy access to downtown St. Augustine.The owners of this property were accommodating and made our stay even more enjoyable. They live next door, so they were easily reached if we had any questions or needed assistance. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail really stood out, ensuring we had everything we needed for a stress-free and comfortable visit. We left feeling refreshed and are already planning our next stay!

About the host

Hosted by John and Pat O'Brien

Host profile image
We moved to St. Augustine North City area in 2005 from Point Lookout, NY after friends moved here and introduced us to this wonderful place. We searched for a property near the beach where we could build a fabulous home for us and a unique vacation rental next door. We wanted to live next to our rental so we could be available to our guests if needed, yet private for us and our guests. We accomplished our goal and hope you love St. Augustine Beach and our vacation rental house as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We are on a short block to the beach walkover on the east side of Beach Blvd. with no thru traffic.

What makes this property unique

We love the location because you can walk to restaurants and hear the ocean from the house. You can walk and be on the beach in a few minutes. We like that our beach is on the side where cars are not allowed. We are on a quiet street yet close to activities, restaurants, sightseeing, shopping. The house was constructed with energy efficiency in mind with a metal roof and solar panels. We built the guest house as though it was for ourselves and strive to make our guests as comfortable as possible, always updating and maintaining cleanliness.
